The Schedule referred to :in these Letters Patent Vand. making part ofthe same. o

To whomit may concern BERNEY, of Pawtucket, in the county ofProvidence,`

in the State of. Rhode Island, have invented certain Improvements inEgg-Beaters, of which thefbllowing isa specification.,

'The object of this-invention-,is to construct an eggbeat'er with threerevolving beaters, aud in such manner that the' substaileeof the leggsubject to their action can becompletely' broken and beat `up in a`shortertime and in a more complete manner Athan has heretofore beendone);` and l It consistsin the employment ot three revolving beaters,two of which are removable, and the arrangement ofthe gearwheels thatoperate them.

Inlthe drawings-'- o Figure lis a side elevation of the-beater, andFigure 2 is a transverse elevation of thesame. Egg-beaters asgenerallyconstructed have their revolving beaters or cutters made fast iu themachine,

which, when there are more than one,makes it diiiicult to cleanthemthoroughly, as all the parts cannot be accessible for suchoperation, but by having the two outside revolvingbeaters removable,makes- 4the operation-oi' cleaning them easier, and can be bett'erperformed onfall the beaters. i

The removing vthe beaters is accomplished by `lutving the foot-rest aspring, with the pivot-pins that the 'feet of the 'two outside beatersrevolve aroundfast therein, and :extending but a short dis- 4tanceabovethe upperside of the bottom-oi' said side beaters. A i g `Ais theprincipal metal supporting frame, and having the loop-handle top A', bywhich the beater is `held ,in position while in use, and terminates iutwo feet,A, at the bottom, which receive au'd support the-axis of theupper ends of' the two outside removable beaters, as seen in tig. l. o

B isztheA main drivinggear-wheel, and has thel crank-handleB on itssideand near its peripey, by

which wheel B is revolved.V

There is centrally-inserted in the bottom of flame A, and madefastfthereim and between feet' A, a guide-shaft, l), which` is made theaxis of small ceuter-gear wheel OA and spur-gear wheel D, which iseast'with or` firmly attached to wheel() and revolves therewith. y 1 I vl l `This shaft extends down in the 4center of the middie beater to andthrough thespring foot-rest c, where it isV made fast at c', and passesthrough the brace a that supports middle beater c. 4

` Center spur-gear wheel Dgears on oppositel sides into and turns wheelsD' D'.

To` theunder side of gearwheels D D' D' is a to `which'the upper ends ofeach beater is rmly`attached,.so that' the beaters will revolve with thewheels to which they are attached.

n a a'are the'two outside removable beaters, constructed fromthinystrong sheet-metal. strips, and l 'made fast tothe under sides ofVwheels D D', yand revolve upon a pivot-piu at their bottom ends, whichis firmly secured in spring foot-rest c at c.

To remove either'of these beaters arf'only requires the 'springing downof the foot-rest c, so that the pivot-piu -will be drawn out heaters aa, when they, with the wheels D D', are removed from the upper pivot infeet A", by simply slipping them downward, when they are free from themachine.

Beaters a are strengthened by inserting, about midway of theirlength,the'bent brace e, whichis riveted fast to their sides at f f., i

The middle beater a is also strengthened by the brace a, and Vriveted tothe sides of the beater, as. seen in iig. 1,1and the guide-shaft bpasses through saidbrace e, which tends to hold .the middlebeater iirmiyin itsplace. f l

The spring foot-rest cis made fast to the bottom of shaft b at itsvcenter c', audis of. 4such metal as will be elastic and spring, 'andyet be firm enough when inpits position to resist any strain broughtupon it -whileothe beater is in operation, and has the pivotpins atc"made fast to itself, so that, as the'foot is sprung downward ateitherend, the outside beaters can be removed.

Turn .gear-wheel B `by crank-handle B', which gives motion to wheels Cand D, and, by gearing wheel D into wheels.' D D', they are revolved,,and the beaters,.being attached to the yunder sides oi' the-gear-wheels D'D' D', revolve with them, and in the same direction; thatis, the beaters o a`revolve iu the same direction, while middle beater arevolves in the opposite direction, which `causes the sides of theremovable beaters a, a, as they approach each other in their revolutions,to be'traveling' in contrary direcrection intermediate, that its. sidesgo in the opposite direction from the sides ot' beaters a a as theyapproach each other in theirrevolutions, and by which motion otftheV.three beaters thelsubstance .of the egg is brought in contact with theacting parts of the 'beaters to be thoroughly broken and beaten to thescribed.
